Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

nice project you got there mate.. looks similar to mine.. keep up the good work mate

got it out today, decided to remove the redundant pipes, found a spangly fuel pump, i guess its new

but the tank.//..... i was gonna waxoil it, but after wire brushing it, it looked hammerd.

so ill get a new tank

couple of pics



pipes and stuff i dont need


alter'd a engine mount with a grinder,

tank has arrived

it erm, got painted black. waxoil black. all of it.

i got the brakes bled, dot 5 fluid throuout. while i was doing that i noticed the handbrake looked a little scetchy, so i undid it and its hammerd, frayed to f**k

sooo i got a new one


and i found a oil pressure gauge, with sender.
im not a fan of lots gauges for no reason
this one makes sense, and for £15 i dont care if it lights up fancy colors and looks tacky

small update, after realising a fuel return pipe was needed, and some sponge on top of the tank, i had to remove it.
so with that done, i got on with replacing te handbrake.
and im not sure if there are 2 lengths for a corsa, but mine was too long, so after altering a old socket witha dremel thing, and some "big hammer" modification, i now have a nice new handbrake.

secondly the drivers engine mount i got, was for a 2ltr conversion
so now thats for sale and ive ordered my new correct mount.

next job was to fit the box and clutch, unfortunatly the mian oil seal looked a bit suspect, so ill replace that first


back of fly wheel

right i have connected the fuel tank up now, and undersealed the whole car,

refitted the fly a new main oil seal, and clutch and box.

engine should be in a week or so.

yesterday i,

spent 4 hours with 2 bottle of white spirits, and scouring pads and wire wool

this is after i cleaned off the tar sound deadening etc




then used lots of cans of paint and primer, 8 paint in total
the is runs in places but its better painted than all patchy etc



and what i used

looking good mate

right i have fitted the seats, laquer'd there footwell's
painted towin eye's red, fitted rear bumper, and stripped the rear section of loom of unessary wire's

seats in


bumper on


stuff i removed

todays job, mounted the engine

and snapped a mount bolt, so a new mount is on its way.

anyway

rocker cover painted, just to make it nicer than oxidising alloy colour

when is it going to be done aprox?

then we can get a corsa b meet up

ah the ever present question with the projects. and one that cannot be answered until the thing rolls out and you can say...yea its done!

mine had a planned completion in August...and i'm now looking at next year before its sorted.

a project ALWAYS goes over budget and over deadline!...
